NFL Bans Bags at Games

by Kevin Spak, Newser Staff

(NEWSER) – And you thought the airport was bad. This football season, fans will be forbidden from bringing most bags and purses into NFL stadiums, the league announcedyesterday. Only small clutches "about the size of a hand," clear one-gallon freezer bags, and clear plastic tote bags that are no bigger than 12" x 6" x 12" (conveniently sold at "club merchandising outlets") will be allowed. Even fanny packs are expressly forbidden, as are, for some reason, seat cushions.
